Coconut Macaroons (Gluten Free with a sugar free option too) Recipe makes 36 Ingredients: 3/4 cup (5 large) egg whites 2/3 cup granulated sugar (or 1/2 cup powdered sugar substitute for sugar free) 10 oz coconut flakes or shredded coconut 1/2 tsp almond extract 1/4 tsp vanilla extract pinch of salt Directions: Preheat the oven to 300°F In a heavy saucepan combine egg whites, sugar and coconut flakes and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until all the ingredients combine together, about 12-15 minutes. The mixture should be sticky and moist, not dry. Remove from heat and stir in the almond and vanilla extracts. Set aside on a dish and let it cool in the refrigerator about 30 minutes. Using a tablespoon, scoop tightly packed tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet covered with a silpat or parchment paper. (You might also want to shape them like I have) Bake 27-30 minutes or until golden. These should be a soft when cooked however if you want them firmed cook for longer. HINT: For Cherry Macaroons which are absolutely amazing add a packet of finely diced Glace Cherries just before placing in the refrigerator and omit the sugar Servings: 18 (Serving Size: 2 cookies), Old Points: 3 pt , Points+: 3 pt, Calories: 129.2, Fat: 7 g, Protein: 1.8 g, Carb: 14.5 g, Fiber: 1.1 g, Sugar: 13.4 g, Sodium: 74.2 mg♥♥♥SHARE on your timeline your friends may want or need this too♥♥♥ **************************************************** Add or Follow me: https://facebook/lillief.gould Join me here: https://facebook/groups/lillieslivinghealthy/ Get your Skinny on! 100% natural!
